KOMPARATIVNA ANALIZA MORFOLOŠKIH KARAKTERISTIKA DVE GENERACIJE FUDBALERA

Bogdan Tomić Miroslav Smajić

Thorough knowledge of anthropological characteristics of athletes that achieve superior results may show which direction one should take during selection and training process. The aim of this research was to perform a comparative analysis of morphological characteristics of two generations of football players. The sample comprised 54 players aged 23.74 years, who are members of FK Vojvodina Novi Sad divided into two groups. The first group consists of 26 players aged 24.57±2,55 years from the season 2004/2005, while the second group of 28 players aged 22.96±2,86 years from the season 2010/2011. Sample measures for the evaluation of morphological characteristics are: height, weight, ideal body weight, muscle and fat component. The first group of players has higher values of body height, ideal body weight and muscle components, and less body weight and significantly lower values of fat component.

Differences in morphological characteristics football players of older pioneers and cadets

Glasnik Antropoloskog drustva Srbije (2015)

Miroslav Smajić Dejan Madić Nebojša Čokorilo Zoran Milošević Borislav Obradović

Morphological characteristics define a man based on his features, usually using appropriate anthropometric measures. Morphological characteristics of this study are based on a bio-psycho-social status of the man in the broadest sense. Monitoring the morphological characteristics is subject to a number of scientific disciplines. The morphological characteristics and their knowledge are used for correct selection and application of physical exercises and proper load determination in training. Morphological characteristics of the long term change primarily in terms of increasing longitudinal dimension. This phenomenon is called the acceleration of growth and development. The aim of the research is to analyze differences in morphological characteristics football players older pioneers and cadets. The sample comprised a total of 60 football players of different age categories FC 'Vojvodina', as follows: older youths (13.5 ± 0.5 years) - 30 members and cadets (15.5 ± 0.5 years) - 30 pts. In order to determine the differences in morphological characteristics of youth football players measured 11 anthropometric measures according to the International Biological Program. Differences in morphological characteristics of youth football players were determined by means of canonical discriminant analysis. The results indicate that these two groups differ in morphological characteristics. Distinguishing groups has contributed most to the difference in body weight.

The aim of the research was to determine the effects of applied technical and tactical characteristics of table tennis players on their success in competitions. The representative sample consisted of 48 top senior table tennis players from Bosnia and Herzegovina, age 18 and 36, selected on the basis of a qualification tournament. The measuring instruments for this study included eight assessment tests for the table tennis players' technical and tactical characteristics and one test for assessing success in table tennis competitions. Technical and tactical characteristics of the participants were evaluated by five experts who analyzed the efficacy of technical and tactical characteristics of the players on a scale ranging from 1 to 5. The methods of processing the results included descriptive statistical procedures, the multiple correlation coefficient, the determinant coefficient and a multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that technical and tactical characteristics have a major impact on the player's performance and are essential for table tennis success. Based on the value of the regression coefficients and their significance, it may be concluded that the 5 variables statistically significantly contribute to the regression model are: the efficiency of the serve; the efficiency of preventing the attack of the opponent and preparation of the players’ own attack; confidence when attacking across the table; the efficiency in the active defence and the efficiency of movement during the game. In the hierarchy of significance, the most important variables are the serve efficiency and efficiency of preventing the attack of an opponent and preparation of the player's own attack. The efficiency of the serve allows an attacker to realize technical and tactical ideas and usually gain initiative in the game. By returning a serve we can prevent or at least make it harder for the opponent to attack again. A serve return can also allow us to take the initiative

Frequency of foot deformity in preschool girls

Vojnosanitetski pregled (2010)

Ilona Mihajlović Miroslav Smajić Jelena Sente

Background/Aim. In order to determine the moment of creation of postural disorders, regardless of the causes of this problem, it is necessary to examine the moment of entry of children into a new environment, ie. in kindergarten or school. There is a weak evidence about the age period when foot deformity occurs, and the type of these deformities. The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between the occurrence of foot deformities and age characteristics of girls. Methods. The research was conducted in preschools 'Radosno detinjstvo' in the region of Novi Sad, using the method of random selection, on the sample of 272 girls, 4-7 years of age, classified into four strata according to the year of birth. To determine the foot deformities measurement technique using computerized digitized pedografy (CDP) was applied. Results. In preschool population girls pes transversoplanus and calcanei valga deformities occurred in a very high percentage (over 90%). Disturbed longitudinal instep ie flat feet also appeared in a high percentage, but we noted the improvement of this deformity according to increasing age. Namely, there was a statistically significant correlation between the age and this deformity. As a child grows older, the deformity is lower. Conclusion. This study confirmed that the formation of foot arches probably does not end at the age of 3-4 years but lasts until school age.

ATTITUDE OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF DIFFERENT SPORTING EXPERIENCE TOWARDS UNALLOWED STIMULATIVE RECOVERY DRUGS

Exercise and Quality of Life (2010)

Miroslav Smajić Dragoljub Bekvalac Dragoljub Bekvalac Alen Kapidžić Alen Kapidžić

<p>Usage of unallowed stimulative drugs for recovery implies consuming or giving to others substances which artificially improve physical and psychical condition of an athlete and thus improve his/her success in sport. The goal of the study is to examine attitudes of football players of various length of sports experience, towards unallowed stimulative substances for recovery. The sample of examinees consists of 120 football players divided into two groups, on basis of the sports experience length (first group: 4-8 years of sport experience, second group: 9-14 years). The sample of variables consists of a system of 10 items (claims) assessed on a 5-grade scale. The importance of the differences between the groups was determined by a multivariate and univariate analysis of variance, discriminative analysis, Roy&iacute;s test, Pearson's coefficient of contingency and the coefficient of multiple correlation. It is evident that football players of different length of sport experience differ among themselves in their attitudes towards unallowed drugs for recovery, however, those differences are not big.</p>

Glasnik Antropoloskog drustva Srbije (2010)

Bogdan Tomić Miroslav Smajić Alen Kapidžić Miroslav Radoman

Peculiarity of some sports and sports disciplines is in their competitive structure. So, it is necessary to research and prove practically the peculiarities of some sports including firstly genetic limit of anthropological abilities and characteristics. The aim of the research is to determine morphological characteristics of young footballers according to their position in a team. The sample of 206 examinees aged 17-18 was analyzed (young footballers) and it was divided into 5 subsamples according to examinees position in a team: forwarders (45), midfield players (47), detenders (41), central detenders (44) and goalkeepers (29). This research includes morphological characteristics which imply four latent dimensions. Fourteen anthropometric measures were determined which hypothetically assess mentioned latent morphological dimensions. Results show significant difference between 5 subsamples in the game for characteristics: body height, body weight, leg length, foot length, pelvis width, knee diameter, anklebone diameter, midbust volume, lower leg volume and back fold. There was no difference with the following characteristics: upper leg volume, upper arm fold, stomach fold, upper leg fold. .

Introduction. The aim of this paper was to determine the attitudes of physical education teachers and primary school teachers towards inclusive physical education in Serbia. Material and Methods. The research included 132 examinees of both genders: 59.09% females and 40.91% males. Data were collected using an anonymous questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale. The questionnaire dealt with teachers? previous experience, their qualifications for implementation of inclusive physical education, support and additional training for realization of inclusive physical education. Data were processed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 20. Normality distribution was tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk test, whilst the differences between groups (sexual dimorphism, environment, professional orientation) were examined using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests at the significance level of p ? 0.05. Results. The findings showed that the average scores were inclined towards positive attitudes to inclusive physical education. The findings also showed that there was no statistically significant gender-related difference of attitudes between physical education teachers and primary school teachers. However, there was a statistically significant difference related to geographical background in terms of qualification levels (p = 0.02) for work with children with disorders and disabilities, as well in terms of additional training (p = 0.02) and professional orientation, since physical education teachers have less experience working with students with developmental disorders. Conclusion. Both physical education teachers and primary school teachers have positive attitudes towards inclusion. Physical education teachers have less experience working with challenged students than primary school teachers, therefore additional training programs may be required.

Differences in certain morphological characteristics between football players of younger and older pioneers

Glasnik Antropoloskog drustva Srbije (2016)

Miroslav Smajić Bogdan Tomić Dejan Madić Nebojša Čokorilo Sreten Sreckovic

Morphological characteristics play a significant role as a part of monitoring talented young football players. Success of the training process depends on understanding structure of individual anthropological abilities and characteristics of athletes, as well as their development in different stages of ontogenic growth. The aim of this research is to analyze differences in certain morphological characteristics between football players of younger and older pioneers. The examinee sample consisted of 60 football players of different age categories of the Football Club 'Vojvodina', as follows: 30 younger pioneers (11.5±0.5 years) and 30 older pioneers (13.5±0.5 years). In order to determine differences in certain morphological characteristics of younger and older pioneer football players, 11 anthropometric characteristics were measured according to the International Biological Program. Differences between morphological characteristics were determined by means of canonical discriminant analysis. Significant differences in morphological characteristics indicate that the two groups differ from each other, whilst the most significant differentiation factor was leg length. Significant increase in morphological characteristics with age indicate that boys have adequate growth and development for their age.
